In America Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother's Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother's Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.
I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.
It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.
Anna was born on May 1,1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a“minister”, which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.
After she became an adult, Anna worked for life insurance company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington D.C. Then, in 1906, just two weeks after Anna's 42nd birthday, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.
In the months that followed, Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.
After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother's Daychurch service, on May10, 1908, in Crafton, West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother's Day -- the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Virginia, where Anna's mother had lived, made Mother's Day a statewide observance--for a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

[ ]
A. Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.

Crime (罪行) has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2 400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.
The pattern (模式) of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high point during July and August, as do rape (强奸案) and other violent (猛烈的) attacks. Murder, besides, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary (抢劫) has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.
Obviously our intellectual (智力的) seasonal cycles are completely different from out criminal tendencies (倾向). Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made careful studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores in examinations, and propose the most changes to patents (专利). In all instances, he found a spring peak (高峰) and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies show that June is the peak month for suicides (自杀) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!
Possibly, high temperatures and high humidity (湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. “There is of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say. “Why murder's high time should come in the summertime we really don't know.”
(1) The main idea of paragraph 1 is ________.
[ ]
A．there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns.
B．crime is not linked to the changes in season.
C．2400 towns were studied for five years.
D． the crime patterns have no connections with summer.
(2) The subject of paragraph 2 is ________.
[ ]
(3) In Paragraph 3 what is the one strange statistic (数据) of May?
[ ]
A．There are more robberies in May.
B．There are more dog bites in May.
C．There is the most crime in May.
D．There are most marriages in May.
(4) In paragraph 4, a graph for our intellectual cycles might look like this:
W = winter Sp = spring Su = summer A = autumn (见P93上图)
(5) The information in paragraph 5 says: ________.
[ ]
A．There may be a connection between murder and hot weather.
B．There is surely a connection between murder and hot weather.
C．There is no connection between murder and hot weather.
D．There must be a connection between cold weather and murder.

The first signs of the activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883,when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain.Great noise could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles away.Later the activity grew much greater.The peak(山顶)was covered with smoke and fire;the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air.The lava—soft and hot rock—shot up into the air and roiled down the sides of the mountain.
The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side,close to the sea.As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption,the sea water got into it.When the sea water reached the lava inside the volcano,it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder.And this sealed off(封住)the rest of the lava below.As the inside of the lava could not break through the seal,the pressure(压力)built up until the mountain blew up.
The eruption of the volcano was followed by several earthquakes which brought about bad result.About 36 000 people were killed and many towns and villages near the sea were completely destroyed by the great waves which the earthquake caused.

Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have name.In Japan,people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Tun left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest,usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings with tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: They measure distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “It's about five minutes from here.”you say, “It's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don't know.
Peop;e in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand thi Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question, What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don't know.” People in Yucatan think that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan, in the United States in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go iin that direction, and you may find the post office!

A.never carry a map for travel
B.there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
C.there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
